You would like to try to detox your body, but your schedule just won't allow you the standard 7 to 10 days needs to follow a detox plan. It won't hurt to try a one-day detox plan. Your results won't be as intense with the one-day plan as they would be with the longer plans, but you can repeat it every three months and get some tangible results.
If you follow the one-day detox, for one day you will only be allowed to drink juices. You have to use fresh vegetables in the juicer to get the highest quality nutrients. Canned juices won't do you any good.
The nutrient value just isn't the same. In the event that you don't have a juicer, feel free to buy fresh juices from a health food store the night before you plan to start the detox.
Dedicate a weekend day when you can relax and reduce stress during the detox. Ideally, you can start your day by stretching and drinking a glass of juice. After a long, relaxing shower or bath, wear comfortable clothes.
You can have a pajama day. If you are willing to go out, it would be great to add a massage around the middle of the day. Try to limit your driving to going to the massage parlor and then back home. Stops, errands and shopping should be avoided. This is your day to detox and relax. The to-do list can wait.
At home, surround yourself with calming music, not loud television shows. And don't even log on the computer to check your email. Alert people that they won't be able to reach you on this particular day. Leave a phone message saying you won't return calls until the next day. This is your day; you are worth it.
You might enjoy a few candles or an aromatic scent in a room nearby. Lavender and chamomile are quite popular, since they are known to promote relaxation. But if you enjoy vanilla or rose or some other scent, then choose that one.
This all sounds great if you have a quiet home - but what if your house is filled with children, pets and neighbors all weekend? Here's where additional planning is in order. You can take a day off work, and be at home when everyone else is gone. You can also possibly send your pets to a good neighbor, if they can cause interruptions to your detox plan. Another option is to check into a spa that offers detox treatments. If that's too expensive for your budget, find a bargain priced but comfortable hotel in town and check in.
Bring all of your detox supplies, including juices and water. Check ahead of time to make sure your hotel room offers a mini refrigerator. You can even go for a swim in the hotel pool or sit outside on the lounge chairs.
